Probably. But we need to see the full balance changes and the Scion Ascendancy. All those will surely affect all builds.

Bought Empower 4, which increases my dps 11% more. It is almost impossible to upgrade my gear now, and I got bored because of that . Still tough to do Atziri though.
I think this build is very good if your budget for gear is ~10ex. However, if somehow you can grind 50+ ex then I think you might want to find a different, more expensive build.

hey guys, im using bladefall instead of EK, but using this guide as a base for my tree, wanna say a thanks to OP for this build

I have already cleared normal Atziri (which was very easy, decoy+bladefall+poison = OP, died 2 times to reflect though haha)

However, my tooltip currently stands at only around 50k, with both hatred and HoA...and roughly 70K with 6 frenzy charges

Below are my gears and tree

is there anywhere, which i can improve upon? For bladefall, my dps seems alittle low

Poison Damage passives, better shield, better amulet, +1/2 levels for Bladefall. +1 frenzy boots. Can't see your Jewels, but probably that as well.

love this? :D

why the retch has no more "200% of Life Leech applies to enemies as Chaos Damage"?

edit:eeehhhmmmm no poe.trade hides :)

To clarify, build is still very much viable, even with Poison nerfs. Not sure if Elemental scaling or Poison is better now, though both should work out great.

Anyhow, go Scion (Berserker + Trickster (my suggestion, just keep ES at 0) or Raider (no need for Blood Dance or Blood Rage solo)).

Aura will be Vulnerability if going Poison now (or Vuln on Hit on Gloves and run something else), no more mana issues with 100% Mana Regen, Free Leech, 10% MORE Damage that double-dips. Should easily end up with more total DPS than ever before.

Replace Added Fire with Empower 3/4 once you can afford it, and consider Tabula +1 since you're using Empower again.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Are you back for the expansion? EK again? :)

Of course I'm back, but I won't be doing EK this league. I think 5-6 leagues in a row is plenty, so I'll be trying out some more stuff. ...before I inevitably return to this build since it's so good.
